My great uncle Harold worked there as a salesman, my uncle Carl farmed east of Hazleton with IH equipment, and my Dad and grandpa certainly did business there, so the elders in my family would have known the people you are looking for well. And the 706 I had for years had an Oelwein Imp sticker on it. But all that family has long passed. You may already have this info, but the Oelwein Library has a book written by Royce King outlining the history of Oelwein Imp. I googled it and it comes on the Oelwein Register page, with the name of the librarian. Maybe she could look it up for you. It should have a lot of useful info, or if you have a specific name I can try to help. I don't get back home much now, I live a couple hours away, but still have a few locals I talk to. Good luck with your search!
